Nihi Houia and Ron Hough and his whanau hosted Whanganui and Partners, DOC and WSP Opus at Hiruhama Jerusalem Marae and Church yesterday. Our faces and hearts were smiling all day long because of the potential for smart growth in environmental sustainability, education and jobs

Celebrated brothers turn brains to dairy problems https://t.co/Cd7yUSo9u5 This is a great initiative.

[MARK WARD @mond_mark]

Whanganui has demonstrated it's preparedness to welcome and support more refugees. Refugees are often budding entrepreneurs. It is no surprise Whanganui has been selected by Government.

The NZ Masters Games 2019 @NZMG2019 have been a great success helped by the beautiful Whanganui weather. Happy Waitangi Day to our participants from all over NZ. Visit Whanganui again soon!

[MARK WARD @mond_mark]

The Citadel Cafe annual garden party went off with a bang at Castlecliff Whanganui. Great community vibe.

[MARK WARD @mond_mark]

Whanganui’s biggest party has started. Vintage Week comes hard on the heals of our summer Opera School and the mesmerising Opera by the River. The budding stars are in concert tonight. Whanganui - Wow!

@katy_button @jacindaardern My thoughts are with you and there must be solutions found to reverse this situation. Telford and Taratahi Ag Institute are too important to the nation.

Don't forget that this Sunday four churches are coming together to host an open air #EveryHorseRemembered memorial service beside Pinkers Pond, Leyburn in memory of the 8 million horses, donkeys and mules who died in WW1. Find out more here: https://t.co/kYk0ZG4QQC

Top equine vet Brendon Bell giving Southland vets the benefit of his awesome wisdom at ⁦@NZVA⁩ Southland Branch evening! Proud to have this #legend at ⁦@VetSouthNZ⁩

[Mark Bryan @MarkBryanNZ]

2 of us on call today- only one farm between us all day had any (token) biosecurity - a footbath. Cmon Southland! It’s not all up to @MPI_NZ #mbovis @MASSUpdates @VetSouthNZ

[MARK WARD @mond_mark]

Life is full of getting to destinations. Enjoy the journeys as well. I love this part of my daily commute to the office because it's a different mood everytime. @NZVA

[Lorna @moukenainzo]

Great to have a wellness trail in the commercial expo. Caring professionals need to look after ourselves too! Well done for this initiative @NZVA #AllCreatures

[Mark Bryan @MarkBryanNZ]

Absolutely. Completely ridiculous situation https://t.co/qoDU0yRNpp

[Mark Bryan @MarkBryanNZ]

Great couple of ideas. But why does it take a year of feedback and the disease being discovered in Cambridge before anyone listens? Let’s hope when the next incursion happens it lands first in the Waikato so we get some early action! https://t.co/vsW2tDLB2l

[Jones, Julia @juliajones110]

Incredibly natural and inspiring presentation with sage advice, never give up no excuses EVER. Love your energy ⁦@TraciHoupapa⁩ . #beingboldforchange #anzco

[Mark Bryan @MarkBryanNZ]

This is the same leadership shown daily by the many successful female vets, crashing through glass ceilings. 75% of our vets are female and they’re 100% awesome. Such a change from the attitudes and environment of 30 years ago. ⁦@VetSouthNZ⁩ https://t.co/teYWmyD85G

Mycoplasma bovis will affect us all - look after each other, via @nzherald https://t.co/UKvf4zQvdR

[Joanna Blythman @JoannaBlythman]

What really motivates a lot of this hype and pursuit of lab “meat” or cell Ag is a return on investment for venture capitalists and billionaires via patents and intellectual property rather than any real genuine environmental or health concerns. Must read https://t.co/RZoA3ETJtk

[Gareth Enticott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @GarethEnticott]

As @MarkBryanNZ shows, the social impacts of animal disease dont just arise from losing cattle, but from the regulations and bureaucracy that follows. They also affect vets as well as farmers. Here's a good description of the effects of FMD in 2001. https://t.co/GXmE5rrmA2

"Trusted relationships will be a new form of currency" - @emhiggins catches up with @TheCountry to discuss the government decision to undertake a phased eradication of M. bovis from NZ cattle.
